Finally! Exactly what I've been saying all along. Can we now see the connection between the rising costs of prescriptions to the rising cost of healthcare insurance? This is an issue that not only affects Senior Citizens, it affects all of us. Copays are rising, and with these "new breed" medications, there is no such thing as a generic, so we're supposed to pay full price for these new prescription medications out of our own pockets to offset the cost of the "research" that Big Pharma has put into these meds?
Come on, let's face the facts here. Most of these new meds are just different versions of old meds.
Clarinex? Almost the same chemical makeup of Claritin (which just so oh conveniently became available OTC). Do some research folks, a lot of these new meds aren't so new...they're just the same old meds that have been around long enough for the patent to wear off on them and remarketed under different names and slight differences in their chemical structures. I don't blame the Seniors one bit for making their bus trips. I hope they continue to do it until this country wakes up and checks its ego.
